Amitabh Bachchan In Aladdin
Movie: Aladdin
Starring: Amitabh Bachchan, Sanjay Dutt, Ritesh Deshmukh and Jacqueline Fernandez
Director: Sujoy Ghosh
Alladin is one of those movies that look promising in the beginning but as the film progresses, you feel disappointed by what you see on the screen. The fantasy, which promised to excite the young and the old alike failed to impress even those small kids, who otherwise love such fantasies.
This film is a story of Aladin Chatterjee [Riteish Deshmukh], an orphan, whose life changes when he is given a lamp by Jasmine [Jacqueline Fernandez], which lets loose a Genius [Amitabh Bachchan].
The Genius is desperate to grant three wishes to end his contract with the magic lamp. The Genius initially turns Alladin’s world upside down, until the ringmaster (Sanjay Dutt), who wants to kill Aladin appears on the scene.
Though, there are some interesting moments from time to time, the film becomes slow and boring as it moves ahead.
Whereas certain amount of imagination is always welcomed in a fantasy, Alladin is far too absurd for any logical person to understand. Certain portions of the film are so senseless that you just fail to understand them at all. It is actually the screenplay of Sujoy Ghosh and not the story, which is so loose that it lets the film down.
Even the other aspects of the film are not anything worth talking about. The first part of the film has too many songs, which again makes the film slow. And, talking of songs, the music of the film is also fails to deliver.
But the worst part is that Amitabh Bachchan in the role of Genius fails to leave any impact on the audiences. If that was not enough, Sanjay Dutt, Jacqueline Fernandez, Ratna Pathak Shah, Victor Banerjee and Mita Vashisht also fail to leave any impression.
The only good thing about Alldin is Ritsh Deshmukh, whose natural acting leaves a great impact on the audiences.
Overall, if you give Alladin a miss, you won’t miss much.
